Mom says baby Ja'Bari is making progress after neck surgery

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - A baby born without skin is making great progress after undergoing surgery here in Houston last Thursday.

Ja'bari Gray is at Texas Children's Hospital. Since receiving surgery on his neck, he's now able to open and close his mouth.

Mom says he's finally now smacking his lips when he's hungry.

Doctors are testing Ja'bari for a rare genetic skin disorder, and mom says she thinks they'll have the results next week.
